Chapter 1607: What kind of a screwed-up coincidence was this?

[BENNET MANSION]

Charles dragged himself inside the home, slumping onto the living room couch in exasperation. He had been driving around all day, seeing almost everything — more shenanigans from everyone than he could handle in a day — except for the person he was looking for.

"Master." Butler Jen, who had seen Charles coming earlier, approached with a tray of tea. He carefully placed it down before straightening his back, his eyes on Charles. "You seem exhausted. Are you alright, Sir?"

Charles exasperatedly glanced up at Butler Jen and shrugged. "That... I don’t think I’ll be alright for long."

"Did you have a fight with Sir Haines?"

"A fight?" Charles almost laughed. "How I wish it was just the usual."

But deep down, he knew it wasn’t like that.

This issue was something bigger. Charles just didn’t know how big, but he knew it would be bigger than he could ever embrace.

Thinking about it, his eyes cast down, swirling with sadness. Another heavy breath escaped him, and he didn’t even have the energy to stand or reach out for the tea Butler Jen served him.

Butler Jen, on the other hand, tilted his head a little to the side and studied Charles. After a moment, he walked over to the other end of the couch and sat down beside him.

"What is it, Charles?" he asked, dropping the usual honorific. "What did you do?"

Slowly, Charles looked up at Butler Jen. This man had been with the Bennet Family since Charles was a young teen, working for the Chairman’s family and then moving in with Charles when he got married. Thus, Butler Jen didn’t always feel like a butler to him, but rather a big brother — or perhaps, an uncle.

And whenever Butler Jen dropped the title, it became a lot more personal.

"Horrible," Charles remarked. "I think I did something very horrible that hurt Haines — hurt him a lot."

His mouth quivered as his chest felt heavier. "And he might not forgive me this time around."

Butler Jen studied the fear peeking behind Charles’s eyes, nodding in understanding. Charles was probably the bravest man he had ever known; he had always been there through all of Charles’s phases in life. Hence, he could tell that the fear in Charles’s eyes was real.

"You remember that time, Butler Jen?" Charles leaned back and sighed heavily. "That time my father had to send me to an asylum while telling everyone I was on a vacation?"

Butler Jen didn’t answer, but yes, he could never forget that.

"My father thought it was only because of what I saw in the battlefield, but in truth..." He trailed off, shifting his eyes back to Butler Jen.

Butler Jen offered him a very short smile. "It’s because of that."

Another moment of silence fell between them.

Charles had claimed to never have said this to anyone, not even to his wife. However, that wasn’t exactly true. Although he didn’t tell Butler Jen directly, the latter was there when Charles was suffering about the torture and abduction he had gone through. Thus, he knew how Charles stayed in a short coma when he was finally returned to the base, and how his state of mind earned him an honorable discharge.
